Infielder Rafael Lantigua has been reassigned to minor league camp by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
Lantigua had a solid spring for the Blue Jays as he went 11-for-29 (.379) with three stolen bases in 18 games. He spent last season in the Phillies' organization where he hit .230 with seven home runs and 17 stolen bases in 125 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Lantigua, who played his previous seven years in the Blue Jays' organization, returned in January to provide organizational depth at a number of positions. He's a .270 hitter with 46 home runs and 130 stolen bases in more than 800 career minor league games.
Rafael Lantigua has signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. The deal includes an invite to spring training.
Fantasy Impact
Lantigua has spent all eight of his professional seasons in the minor leagues, most of which came in the Blue Jays' organization. Last year, he played for Triple-A Lehigh Valley in the Phillies' organization and batted .230 with seven home runs and 17 stolen bases in 125 games. The middle infielder is a career .270 hitter with 46 home runs and 130 stolen bases in 806 career minor league games. Lantigua will likely start the year in Triple-A Toledo.
Rafael Lantigua has elected free agency after clearing waivers on Thursday. The 27-year-old, who has yet to make his big-league debut, spent a brief period with the Phillies organization in 2025 but did not appear in an MLB game.
Fantasy Impact
Lantigua played in 125 games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2025, where he slashed .231/.357/.331. He contributed seven home runs, 57 RBI, 82 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases. He will likely have to settle for another minor-league deal this offseason.
The Philadelphia Phillies optioned Rafael Lantigua to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Lantigua is returning to Triple-A after a three-day stint with the Phillies, during which he did not record a plate appearance. In a corresponding move, Alec Bohm (shoulder) was activated from the injured list.
